It's not about the plot

I don't even remember when I saw this movie
. Maybe I didn't even have a concept of what a movie was at that time. I was just used to watching one foreign translated film every Sunday afternoon at the Zhengda Theater. At that time, spiritual entertainment was really lacking. , There is a foreign translated film that is like watching a western scene, and I am so happy that my little cousin (9 years old this year) may not understand it.
The plot can no longer be presented in series. I only remember that there was a man who looked like a lion living in the underground pipeline. Later, he fell in love with the heroine. The last scene is probably the backs of the two lovers disappearing into the TV. . . . . . .
But for me, who was young and innocent at the time, this film was a mythical blessing. A lion who is different from ordinary people, a heroine in the traditional sense, what made me at that time incredible but subconsciously looked forward to is that they fell in love, God! At that time, every time we saw the scene of the hero and heroine hugging, the parents had to cover our eyes, "so as not to poison the young people", but I watched this by myself - full of love, romance, legend, and even it was badly photographed today. Magical plot, great, soul-stirring, romantic and bizarre dubbed film, a little girl was dumbfounded, silly, and frightened while watching and excited for an afternoon, and even every day related to images in the future. .
Today, the Zhengda Theater still arrives as scheduled every Sunday afternoon, but at least I am no longer so frightened and watch it respectfully. There are simply too many channels for watching movies now. One computer and one network cable can connect to Hollywood, but I can no longer find the impact that "The Brave and the Lion" brought me back then.
It really doesn't matter

Beauty and the Beast quotes

  • [opening credits narration]

    Vincent: This is where the wealthy and the powerful rule. It is her world... a world apart from mine. Her name... is Catherine. From the moment I saw her, she captured my heart with her beauty, her warmth, and her courage. I knew then, as I know now, she would change my life... forever.

    Catherine Chandler: He comes from a secret place, far below the city streets, hiding his face from strangers, safe from hate and harm. He brought me there to save my life... and now, wherever I go, he is with me, in spirit. For we have a bond stronger than friendship or love. And although we cannot be together, we will never, ever be apart.

  • Father: [referring to Vincent's relationship with Catherine] I sometimes feel that I'm standing on the bank of a raging river watching you try to swim across. How can I not worry? I'd be a fool. And yet, Vincent, sometimes I have to marvel at your courage.

    Vincent: Catherine swims across that river as well. She faces the same dangers, shows the same courage. And in many ways the toll on her is even greater.

    Father: You really think that's so?

    Vincent: On the other side of the river there is no one standing on the bank watching. On her side of the river there is no one praying for a safe passage. On her side of the river, Father, there is no one but Catherine.

    Father: Then I shall stand watch, and pray, for both of you.
